About our storm damage roof report in Holyport
After a storm, safety comes first. Photograph the damage from the ground or a window, and never climb up. Emergency temporary protection, such as covering an opening, is a job for a roofer. Our report records the damage so you have an independent record to give your insurer. Keep receipts for any emergency work. Common reasons to book are ridge tiles that have come loose and damaged pots on the stack, on chimney stacks, ridges and hips and flat roofs.
For a small place like Holyport, the inspection is the same as anywhere: the journey and access are just planned beforehand. It helps to know where the water appears, in what weather, and what you’ve seen outside, along with any repairs done before. If you have photos of the water coming in, they help as well.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, depending on how much of the roof was hit. Rural addresses near Holyport can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We note the date of the storm and the damage you’ve seen.
- We look at the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We record and photograph the damage.
- We note the likely cause and any signs of older wear.
- We send you the report by email for your insurer.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Ask a roofer for emergency temporary protection if water is coming in
- Read your policy wording on storm damage
- Hold on to fallen pieces of the roof where you can
- Take photos of stains and damp inside
You’ll need a roofer’s quote for the repairs. The report gives them a clear list of the damage.
Check the roof from the ground after strong winds. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or lifted ridges. Never climb onto the roof yourself.
Wind, rain and roofs in Holyport
The wider area around Holyport has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 2.2 miles east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Knowing the roof type helps narrow down where water may be getting in.
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Holyport means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do. If you look after a building such as Holyport CofE Primary School, on a building that size, finding the source of a drip means looking well beyond the stain. Homes near green spaces such as Ockwells Park can get more leaves in their gutters in autumn, so outlets and downpipes are worth watching.

Different roofs, different checks
Clay and concrete tiles
Tiles without fixings can move more easily in wind. We record what we can see of the fixings.
Ridge and hip tiles
The ridge and hips are among the most exposed parts of a roof. The survey notes loose, cracked or missing ridge and hip tiles.
Your questions about storm damage roof reports in Holyport
Do you carry out roof surveys in Holyport?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Holyport is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How strong does the wind have to be for a storm claim?
It varies by policy. Many treat gusts of about 55 mph as storm conditions, but your policy sets the actual test.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How do I arrange a storm damage roof report in Holyport?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
Will you deal with the insurance company for me?
No. We write an independent report, and you decide how to use it. Your insurer may appoint its own loss adjuster.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Holyport
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we will plan the survey around it.
Letting agents and landlords in Holyport book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
